  1. They managed one lucky hit due to lazy US planning, across hundreds of sorties. That's not something to brag about, and shows just how well the LO design works

  2. By what actual metric, other than your irrelevant opinion? 😂
    6
  3. What?

  4. Lockheed were invited in by Yakolev to try and salvage their failing Yak-141 programme, but by this point the X-35 was already in development

  5. Not every death of a civilian makes it a genocide

  6. How is any system over 100% efficient? Are you saying heat pumps defy physics?

  7. Different kit for different threats. The fact drones exist doesn't mean we just stop making anything else

  8. The current theory of lift involves both newtonian (airflow deflection due to hitting a surface) and bernoullian (pressure) elements, resulting in a turning of flow across a surface. Both are important factors

  9. Ah yes, that famous Russian F-117 😂

  10. Relevance, Ivan?

  11. Nothing you've said here is correct.
    2
  12. One kill across hundreds of sorties is nothing to shout about
    2
  13. They didn't
    2
  14. Only if you don't understand it. Tech is still advancing rapidly, we just don't need SSTs
    2
  15. One kill over hundreds of sorties is nothing to laugh about

  16. Still plenty to be proud of, just not blindly so. We still produce a massive amount of global aerospace and automotive tech, for example, and are a dominant player in the small satellite market.

  17. No, because the local speed of sound is not in relation to the velocity of the jet passing you, it is in relation to the local atmospheric conditions

  18. Wind turbines don't generate wind 😂

  19. Composites are pretty common now

  20.  @yeahbuddy300lbs  because that's what the Internet needs more of 😂

  21. The human impact of climate change is not a hoax. It is a well understood and documented result of massive increase of atmospheric greenhouse gasses since the industrial revolution.

  22. Super nerd scientists probably have a better understanding of the situation than you do
    1
  23. Or split ailerons like a B-2

  24. Decommissioning cost is built into the energy cost
    1
  25. That's why you have multiple redundant systems, so that likelihood is kept extremely low
    1
  26. Like any other data link, but it just gets attenuated by the atmosphere faster so can't be detected at long range
    1
  27. That's a complete lie. Is this the latest oil lobby bs?
    1
  28. Also there's the matter of fatigue index. More G breaks an airframe quicker, so we artificially impose G limits to keep aircraft service life longer

  29. No, there isn't. Fossil fuel power plants continuously spew poisonous gasses and pollution into the atmosphere across their entire operational life.

  30. They could do it, but few would pay the massively increased fares for it.

  31.  @The_Savage_Wombat  we haven't spent billions on a single fighter, and drones aren't the wonder weapon some people seem to believe they are

  32. Copper generates an EM field which is bad for stealth aircraft and general EMCON. Fibre optic doesn't do that
    1
  33. People have to fund their work

  34. ​ @luci_dorobantu either works, don't get precious about it

  35. Wind is free, but turbine installation, maintenance and disposal isn't

  36. This isn't true. Air travel used to only be available for the rich across most of the world, before the advent of the low cost airline made it far more accessible by driving the cost down

  37. Why bring race into it? Plenty of black/asian/etc people work at NASA now, they just weren't afforded the same opportunities in the past due to deeply ingrained racism in US society
    1
  38. Why?

  39. Not true
